Noticing the undisguisable weariness in her eyes, Madam Lin sighed and said, "If you're tired, go and rest. I'll call you again at lunchtime."
Since her mother had seen through everything, Lin Qingyuan decided to stop being discreet and said frankly, "Then I'll be going back to my room now."
"Go ahead." Madam Lin nodded.
Lin Qingyuan managed to enjoy a restful sleep that morning as she did not have to worry about Long Xuan barging in and harassing her. After lunch, she spent time with Madam Lin in the garden and played with her brother. Before she knew it, the day was over.
However, at dinnertime, a servant came to inform her, "General Long is here to bring you home, Miss."
Minister Lin glanced at Lin Qingyuan, then ordered the servant, "Bring him in at once."
Long Xuan was already outside the doors. Hearing what his father-in-law said, he stepped into the room. "Please forgive me for visiting so suddenly, Father-in-Law."
